Currently the converter chain for DocBook -> PDF (ps2pdf) is the following:
docbook -> DVI DVI -> Postscript Postscript -> PDF (ps2pdf) The converter for docbook -> DVI is: sgmltools -b dvi $$i sgmltools has a backend for postscript also. Is there any disadvantage to having the following as the converter? sgmltools -b ps $$i That would obviate the (at least, external) dvi to ps conversion. If the ps backend should be supported, I assume that it should be added in addition to, and not instead of, the dvi converter? Scott
